What other wars, money crisis or health care problems than the ones 'you' created?

Because the average consumer doesn't want/have time/... to investigate every single thing he buys himself and thus likes to have someone else tell him what to buy, someone who's supposed to know everything about it.

Last time I went outside it wasn't freezing here. Maybe not by much, but still not freezing.

Woah, it's been quite a while since I've read something this ignorant.

I don't know where you fetched those numbers but I first of all I haven't seen anyone use decimals with Celsius and I haven't ever seen -12C or below either, let alone -17C so I really wonder what nonsense those 'marks' are supposed to represent. And trying to argue FOR Fahrenheit as a 'ease of use' is just plain ridiculous.

They might want you to call it 'lobbying and campaign contributions', I call that outright corruption.

Worst signature I've seen on /. congrats.

People need to understand what being Introvert actually means. Being social or easily small-talking doesn't make someone extrovert, and you can't be 'extrovert' for this and that but 'introvert' for these. It just doesn't work that way. Introversion is taking energy in mentally from being alone and being exhausted mentally by exposure to groups for a while. Extroversion is taking energy in from social interactions while being depleted when alone. You wouldn't have to be a genius then to come to Susan Cain's conclusion.

I should probably stop believing anything my school science teacher taught me. The day I learned that the tongue map was actually a myth... boy did hate school for misinforming me like that.

Am I the only one wanting to scream 'Fermi Paradox!' at the top of my lungs whenever the probability of extraterrestrial life is discussed?

Actually, theoretically, viruses aren't 'alive' because the definition says something about the way you replicate shouldn't be whatever viruses do, like using other organisms' cells or something.

The thing is, every single person vaguely familiar with the Tech world already knows this. It's everybody else that needs convincing, and I'm pretty sure neither Google nor Facebook, 2 Tech giants, are the right pick the counter this.

My point is, it's like they'd announce they're recruiting James Bonds' or Presidents.

Too bad they only hire the best of the best. Even if they'd send 1.000 people into space, it'd still wouldn't be enough to have any statistically significant chance of being accepted.

It might be an upcoming trend to be unable to play games on multiplayer offline, but it certainly isn't a trend to just go along with and certainly not to encourage. I've never bought a game that purposely disables LAN capability and I certainly don't plan to change that. It's like when the music industry tried to ban cassettes because they were going to be "the end of the music industry". Also, you'd be surprised with the difference internet makes on a LAN. If you have internet, in between games people tend to just browse around aimlessly and unless someone steps in and brings forward a game it just stays that way. Without internet you have no other choice than to game.
